Visual Feedback Bug

Post by bwinspur »

I've noticed that the Oxygen xls Editor occasionally gets confused about the nesting of elements, even when the document is well-formed.

The symmpton is that placing the cursor after a closing element (as
denoted by the * in the following examples)

<elem> ... </elem>* or <elem ... />*

does not result in undelining of the closing and corresponding
opening tokens. The problem seems to come up after editing has
caused a major loss of well-formedness, and persists after it has
been restored.

When the problem occurs it has a starting point in the file. Above
that point open and close tokens are properly undelined. Below that
point, no underlining occurs.

One workaround is to close and re-open eclipse, and if I remember
accurately, I think closing all editors has the same effect, but the
problem is not happening now and I cant confirm it.

Hope this is useful.

Bill.

I'll try to send you a protocol to produce the problem, but I'm not having any problems at the moment.
